JENKINS,
I don't agree. That looks like a propeller tip at the top left.

Right then, this ac was the first of its configuration to enter service with its parent air arm albeit in limited numbers. It was highly regarded by its operators for its robustness but was badly let down by its power plant. You'll have noted the illustration is in English. The big roll bar behind the pilots seat is readily apparent in photos of this type.
Could it be an early Naval turbo-prop..?
In later years,does the name refer to a different `type`...?
I`ll leave it running...
